Don't Turn Around

Today is Katie's last day of kindergarten. It has been proved once again that the days are long but the years are short. It makes me rather sad to think that her kindergarten year, which has been full of new adventures, is over. She has learned so much and her personality blossomed. Her physical changes are also noticeable in the below two photos. The top picture is from the first day of kindergarten. The lower photo was taken this morning, her last day of kindergarten. 

In the picture below, Katie is stepping onto the bus for the last time as a kindergartener.  I have been told that once your child enters school, the years seem to speed up. Well, the years were going too fast before school. Now I am scared to turn around because if I do she'll be graduating from high school. Please Lord, make the years slow down.
(From where is all this melodrama coming?) Ciao, kindergartener.
